Freshmen: Today, half of you were gone on retreat. This is what we did today, and will do tomorrow with the rest of the class: We took the vocab exam on Chapter 2 and focused more on Step Two of our Seven Step Essay Process. You are supposed to be doing Step Two as homework all this week - that is, gathering information about whatever topic you have chosen to write about. Information can take many forms, including but not limited to numbers (stats, percentages, etc.), facts, stories, examples, and quotes. Be looking for these forms of information as you gather your research. Your research is supposed to take three forms: the internet, a non-internet print source, and an interview with someone about your topic or a survey of several people about your topic. You need to record the information you find about your topic on index cards and you need to bring your index cards as well as your sources to class next block period. Read for 20 minutes tonight and the weekend, and that can be from your book or from your sources.
Sophomores: Today we wrote a little bit in reaction to Life of Pi and conducted our final seminar discussion about the book. We will take a vocab exam on Chapter 2 tomorrow; you should also be finishing up your Echoes of the Tao assignment for Life of Pi if it is not yet complete.
CNF: Today we began reading Chapter 4 from Blink. We will continue tomorrow.
